I made the Spool adapters that you are talking about and i thought they were great until i went to use them. The clips that hold the original spool to the adapter spools are not tight and the spools slip. Here i am referring to using spools of smaller sizes with the adapter that increases the size to the standard 2.2 pound spool. I finally solved this problem by making a a 2 spool winder. There is a standard spool on one side and a spool of the same size or any other size. Both sides have a 8mm rod that goes through about an inch of bearings thick and are held in a adapter. In one of the adapters I also have a 1000 rpm motor that i varably adjust using an adjustable power supply using a M18 Milwaukee battery. GEARS and clamps are made with PLA CF. ALL THIS is nounted to a 4x4 about 3 feet long. It’s sime and it works great. Materials were cheap and purchased from Amazon. Could use anything for power. Need to post a picture or short video if someone can tell me where to post. It solved all my Spool problems so far
